Love Changes Everything
One ordinary night could change everything for Bella. Cullen, everyone knows the name but only their enemies know what they look like. Will Edward let Bella in or will he try to protect him from who he is. A Mobward story, M rated for language and later scenes.
Previously: Needless to say I was quite happy keeping to myself at work to continue to think about Edward.

After driving Bella home, I was in full mafia mode. I wanted the guys that attacked Bella and I fucking wanted them now.
I had to find out for myself what these men were thinking and how they could possibly want to hurt my gorgeous Bella. And when I found them they were dead men.
Yes I know technically she isn't mine yet, but she will be, she has to be. I'm not sure how I can live without her now knowing what it is to live with her. With Bella in mind, I decided to call Jasper.
"What's up boss?" I might be his brother, but even Emmett and Jasper respect me and my position.
"Send a couple of boys over to New Moon, I need the guys found that mistreated Bella" Of course word had already spread to my boys about Bella. They would be well aware I would be out for blood, no one would get away with hurting my angel.
"Already done it boss, we know where to find the guys we were just waiting to hear where you wanted them" That was one of the reasons Jasper was my second in command, I mean he got that shit done before I even asked.
"Great work Jasper and have them taken to the basement" That was all the instructions I needed to give Jasper he would sort out the rest. The basement was actually a warehouse on the outskirts of town, but it was a code name for the building.
"I'll get James on it boss" With that I hung up hearing all I needed. It would take James and Jasper about 20 minutes to get both guys and get to the basement so I had some time to kill before I headed over there. Plus, I wanted the two bastards to get more nervous waiting for me. And I wanted to have some fun with these fuckers.
I just got home when my phone rang, looking down at it, I saw that it was my mother calling me.
"Hello mother, didn't you say everything you needed to this morning?"
"I did thank you Edward, however now I have other things to talk to you about. And don't talk back to your mother smart mouth" My mum was the only person I let call me names like that, well maybe also Bella.
"Well then mother what are these oh so important questions?" I reply sarcastically.
"Firstly, you better be bringing Bella to dinner on Sunday, I hope she realized that was me formally inviting her"
"She knows mum and she said she will come, plus I was going to ask if I could bring her anyway so you saved me a job"
"Good and now that leads me to my next topic of conversation, Bella" I could tell by her voice mum was very excited about the new women in my life.
"Yes mum what about her?"
"You seem rather attached to this girl, very protective not like you did with Victoria. Something is different about Bella"
"I feel very protective towards Bella and my feelings are so much stronger than they ever were for Victoria. Bella is genuine, she is innocent, kind, Victoria was all about her image and money"
"So you have strong feelings for Bella"
"I do, much stronger than I ever thought possible. I feel the need to protect her always, I feel this pull towards her that where ever she is I should be there too. I enjoy her company more than anyone else's and I'm completely lost when she is gone. This is all so new to me mum, I don't know what to do" I confessed.
"Edward my darling, it seems like you are doing a wonderful job, you protected her when she needed you and you cared for her when she couldn't be alone"
"You obviously haven't been told about what happened with Tanya" I looked down embarrassed.
"What happened with Tanya?" with that I told mum the whole story, the way I screwed up and the way Bella reacted. I was just happy to tell my mum over the phone because had we been in person she would have probably hit me for my stupidity.
"Edward Anthony Cullen how could you be so stupid?" Mum was quick to scold.
"I don't know, okay, you know I'm normally so organised and through. It was totally out of character for me and you know it. I may have not been fully focused" I confess
"And what was your mind wondering to?"
"Bella" I admitted.
"Oh my darling boy in your case love really does make you blind" I stopped dead
"Love?" I managed to choke out.
"Yes, my darling, you are falling in love with Miss Swan whether you like it or not"
"But I've only known her 3 weeks, how can it be love?"
"I knew I loved your father the moment we met, sometimes sweetheart you just know"
"Mum, how can I bring her into this life?" I felt so vulnerable asking the question that had been eating me alive since the day I realised I wanted Bella Swan.
"Unfortunately my boy that is something you have to let her decide. When you are ready and you think she is too you tell her everything you have to let her know what she could be getting into and you hope that you are enough for her"
"I don't know if I can be the one to bring her into this life mum, I can't put her in danger like that" I spoke more of my fears.
"Edward, I think it's too late, anyone that wants to harm you, will already know about Bella, even if you left her now I think she could still be in danger" I didn't want to admit it but that was my biggest fear. That Bella wouldn't even get a choice whether she wanted into my life, all of it I mean because she will already be in danger.
"I'm going to have to talk to her about all of this soon, aren't I?"
"Sweetheart your girl is a smart one and if you don't tell her soon she will start to find things suspicions and work things out on her own, it would be easier if you told her first" I knew my mum was right, even if it didn't make things easier for me.
I couldn't risk losing the best thing to happen to me, but if Bella wanted to go I would have to let her leave. With that we finished off our conversation and talked about this Sunday before mum finally had to go.
Anyway, I had business to deal with.
On my way to the basement, I had to hold back my anger towards these men, the game I wanted to play with them would be nowhere near as fun if I killed them straight away. It didn't take me long to find James stood outside the door that would lead me down to the two men I hated most in that moment.
"Hey boss" James greeted me.
"Hi James, how are they?"
"Scared out of their minds. Boss, we found out some information about them that you might like to know"
"Go ahead James, I'm all ears" I wanted to know anything I could to use against the men currently tied up downstairs.
"Seann Johnson, sat on the left, aged 32 has a wife whom he has been married to for 4 years. Day job, a car salesman who's pretty good at his job, however, he has a drinking problem and his wife kicked him out 2 weeks ago. 2 weeks ago, Mr Seann Johnson meets the one and only Mason Miller a small time drug dealer and full time rapist, already been charged for three accounts of attempted rape. Looks like Mason has led Seann down a broken path."
While I wasn't shocked by the fact one of the fuckers is just a normal guy for this Mason guy has done this before and never prosecuted angered me further.
"Let me in James" I snarled through clenched teeth.
Finally entering the room the two bastards were being held in I noticed the panicked look both men were wearing. They had no idea what was coming to them and that's what made all this the more fun for me.
Laughing loudly as I further entered the room, both men's heads snapped up to look over at me.
"Well gentlemen, it looks like you messed with the wrong girl" I spat at them. "You see, your attempt to harm someone very close to me and that will not go unpunished" Ideas of ways to make them pay flowed through my head.
Walking slowly towards the men I pulled out my flip knife slowly spinning it in my hands to make them aware of what I was carrying.
"Well gentlemen, do you get pleasure from forcing yourself on a girl or are you just that desperate that you have no other choice? Either way you two are some of the lowest scum of the earth" I laughed.
"I should know because I am one of them myself, however, I would never harm a woman, which makes me slightly better than you bastards"
The closer I got the more fear I could see, my fun however was starting with Mason. "So looks like your attack on my girl wasn't the first one, huh?" I asked knowing he wouldn't answer.
"What something got your tongue?" I asked inching my knife closer to his mouth as I gripped his face tightly, sweat starts to fall from his forehead. "Nope, it's definitely there though I'm not sure it will be for much longer"
I was completely enjoying scaring the shit out of him, however he needed to start feeling some pain.
"You see Mason nobody hurts someone I care about and gets away with it" With that I shoved my knife as hard as I could into his hand that was currently tied to the chair he's sat on. Mason screamed out in pain as blood ran quickly out of his hand covering his fingers and dripping to the floor.
"You see I knew you had a voice in there somewhere" Getting closer in his face I ran the knife blade up his leg, not hard enough to properly cut him but enough to drag and rip the skin causing immense pain.
"You see Mason the problem is your dick, you think with it and you use it to cause pain" I dragged the blade higher and higher. "I could save a lot of people from pain right now if I was just to kill you" the look in the man's eyes told me right now he would have been happier to die than to be around me.
"Or I could just do this" With that said I took my blade and cut his dick straight off. No sound was heard as Mason finally passed out due to the pain. Looking over at Seann I saw him gagging and tears in his eyes "Don't worry, he will bleed out in about 5 minutes he will be out of pain soon" I tried to reassure him.
"Now Seann is it, I know this isn't your normal lifestyle and I also fairly positive this was your first time. Mason here led you down a bad path away from a life you could have had. A normal life if you could have cleaned yourself up. Instead, you decided to try ad hurt my girl and for that I hate you just as much as your friend over there"
The anger was starting to wear off now and the need to see Bella again was getting stronger. Yeah, I hate this guy for what he did to my Bella, I wasn't willing to waste any more of my time on these two so standing up and turning my back to Seann I took out my favourite gun, my eagle. Turning back towards the guy I shot him between the eyes before he even had a chance to look at me.
"Clean them up James" I calmly said as I left the basement. So much built up tension was finally released as I realised there were two less people that could hurt my Bella. The conversation I had with my mum earlier about how Bella would no longer be safe entered my head, sure I could protect Bella, but I wasn't always around her and with that thought in mind I quickly rang Emmett, who answered on the first ring.
"Sup Boss" Emmett was much less professional to me than my other men however, as my brother, I let him get away with it sometimes.
"Emmett I need one of our best guys to watch over Bella as protection"
"Sure boss" Emmett replied, seriously knowing this was important to me.
"I want them with her always but never in sight, I don't want her seeing them or knowing they are there unless it's to necessary, you got me?" I demanded.
"Yes boss, I'll get on it now" with that I hung up.
Looking at my watch I noticed it was almost time for Bella to be leaving work. Wanting to spend my time tonight just thinking about her and talking to her, I knew I wouldn't get any more work done tonight. Not that I wasn't satisfied with what I had achieved. Heading back to my apartment, I realised how Bella had only stayed around mine for one night. I knew how different tonight was going to feel without her, how empty my bed was going to feel.
I just got into my apartment when my phone buzzed with a message.
